December 2014 Part 2

There was no shortage of amazing treats in the house. We made peppermint oreos here. My favorite goodie was delicious lemon/raspberry cupcakes.

There was a neighborhood not too far away that had the most amazing lights. Not just lights, but big pictures with Disney and movie characters. Nearly every house was completely decked out. We walked around, but there were lots of people in cars and limos driving through to see all the lights.

For our nativity this year Lexi and Simon were Mary and Joseph with Andy as the donkey. Emma was a cow, Gavin a shepherd, Abe, Eli and Craig were the wise men. Kaylin was the angel. The kids were adorable.

The day after Christmas we went to Six Flags. It was great! When I ask the boys what they liked best they say the roller coasters.

This Six Flags had animals as well as rides. My favorite part was the dolphin show. I was holding Simon for it, and he was bouncing with excitement.

We took a selfie waiting for Abe's favorite ride, the Cobra.

Abe wanted to climb the rock wall. It ended up that he didn't really want to climb the wall. He just wanted the stuffed animal everyone wins for even trying to climb.

When we got home from our trip the boys had a few larger things waiting under the tree.
